Nelly Korda Embraces Veteran Role Amid Rising Stars Like Lottie Woad at Amundi Evian

Nelly Korda, one of golf’s brightest stars, humorously remarked she “feels like a grandma” as young talents like Lottie Woad emerge on the LPGA stage. At just 26, Korda already senses the sport’s generational shift unfolding.

During the Amundi Evian Championship, Korda praised the new wave of talent, noting Woad’s poise and potential. The English amateur has drawn widespread attention, reflecting how quickly youth is redefining the competitive landscape in women’s golf today.

Despite her jest, Korda remains a force, holding multiple wins this season and setting the pace for the Tour. Still, she acknowledges that today’s teenagers play with maturity far beyond their years, raising the standard even further.

The camaraderie between Korda and younger players highlights a new chapter in the LPGA. While she may joke about her age, Korda continues to inspire and lead—bridging the gap between seasoned champions and the sport’s promising future.
